The Pittsburgh Pirates split their series with the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, scoring six unanswered runs and getting five scoreless innings from their beleaguered bullpen on the way to a 6-1 win in the scorching series finale. Carmen Mlodzinski piggybacked off starter Jared Jones, allowing two hits over three innings to start off the Pirates’ bullpen heroics.
Scoring Plays
Bottom 3rd, 1-0 PHI: Jared Jones walked Phillies’ nine-hole hitter Rafael Marchán. After striking out Trea Turner on a low changeup, Jones walked Kyle Schwarber, and Bryce Harper mashed a double the opposite way to plate a run.
Top 5th, 1-1: Jake Mangum doubled to lead off the fifth, then took third on a Brandon Lowe single. Esmerlyn Valdez singled Mangum home, but Ryan O’Hearn grounded into a double play that ended the rally.
